My attorney is not including any w2s/tax returns at all. According to her, their firm never files these documents and got many approval without any issue. Did you see any instructions in 485 forms that says that they are required?

W2's/tax returns are not part of the initial evidence USCIS requires to process your application but they may ask for it later if required

Seems like we are so many here who are planning to file on our own. Isn't it wise to hire an attorney and negotiate a better rate, so we all can file correctly in one shot?

Yes, because there was no other way I could rack up 2300 minus points. I find this game as silly as it is irritating, but letting them know it doesn't work with me anymore. Yeh unka bachpana ka nishana hei.. They're just being kiddish

You are kidding right. I currently has - 20,000 points. So that would mean 20 k IV members did not like what i stated and yes that is 20 k within a week :D:D:D

I think AILA is not one lawyer it is group of Lawyers. They might have heard from some persons in State Dept persons un-officially. But rumor is always a rumor till that becomes true. Hope for best and prepare for worst

congrats

Finally I got the CPO email today. After 10 years (first GC was filed in 2001), it was our turn today. I received for me and my wife both.

I was a mostly passive observer during the S 1932 battle, and really admire all of your perseverance. I think all of you did very well with the limited time and zero funds that you had. A little bit about myself: I am a physician from India currently doing medical research here. I am currently busy interviewing for the medical residency Match 2006 (for those of you who know or care) and therefore will not be able to spend as much time here as I would like. I myself am not a GC applicant yet but am extremely interested in the cause you guys are taking up and want to see this thing being worked through. I believe our demands are just and fair, and perfectly in line with the American tradition of fairness. Our demands are just waiting to be intelligently articulated and brought to wider public attention, and will resonate well with all lawmakers irrespective of ideology. We will have to be careful about distinguishing our requirements from competing and confusing interests like illegal aliens, security issues and even H1B visa seekers.

No American, from the most socially conservative Republican to the scared-about-job-loss Democrat will grudge a legal immigrant -who has played by all the rules all the time and pays all taxes- to reduce his immigration wait period from 7 years to 2 years! We have to play on this sense of American fairness (which exists btw to those who are skeptical) and spread the news about our legit demands (and indeed our existence) to the wider American audience. We have to carry this issue from the arena of policy debate to the personal - tell Americans how it feels like for spouses to waste their time and hope, to not be able to buy a home or plan any kind of life beyond the wait period for the green card. We have to tell them that we are not just potentially controversial legislation, but real people, with dreams, hopes, fears and sensitivities- just like them. After all, we are a significant number among their physicians and software engineers, scientists and nurses, professors and graduate students.

But we should present these facts well to our audience, and not let communication glitches convert a no-brainer into a close contest. We should not let bad English or an unprofessional approach towards lawmakers/ media feed into stereotypes of “cheap labor” class peddled by the anti-immigrant groups. We have to be savvy and creative about our PR. We have to collect funds and organize the enormous mass of people affected by this issue. Among other things, we have to be politically sensitive and not pass judgments on illegal aliens or protectionist Democrats or anti-immigrant groups in our dialogue amongst ourselves or with others.

I am aware all of this is tall order, but if we can manage this, I think America will give us what we ask for inside of 6 months. I will contribute as much as I can, as will be allowed by my current pressured situation ; ) Like many others here, I can put forth ideas and suggestions. I think I am politically aware and because I (used to) closely follow the general political media, I will probably be able to provide the American perspective on things, which again many others here regularly do.

Thanks for your time and may 2006 have the very best for us!

My attorney is planning to send out the paperwork on June 29 to reach by monday july 2nd , is there any problem to this, is there any risk involved in sending on 29th, is anybody else doing this ? Please respond, this is urgent.

I read somewhere in the forum that one guy contacted USCIS regarding I-140 PP and he was told by USCIS representative that they honor Postmark date. If USCIS honors Postmark date not the receive date they one must be careful sending application on June 29th. Edit/Delete Message

I have a question regarding the I-693 Medical exam. it was mentioned that you will need to take a vaccine for MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and Hapatitis B. it was also mentioned that they will do a tb test and a blood test for HIV and syphilis. are these all the vaccinations and blood tests required or are there aother blood test required in addition to these??

please advise. Thanks

Below are the list that I have from my lawyer to prepare my I-485 :

1. for Evidence of status you need a Copy of Last Entry I-94 non immigrant arrival/departure record, showing your admission to the US and current status. (Front and back, make sure the date is clear to see)

2. To show that you are always in status while you are in US you will need Copies of all immigration related documents from USCIS (such as I-20, OPT, H1B, H4 approval notice, or other status)

3. Copy of Birth Certificate (need translate & notarize if not in English)

4. Copy of Marriage Certificate if you are married (need translate & notarize if not in English)

5. Copy of Passport pages with non immigrant visa (including all passports you have used since the last entry you need to copy all the stamp you had on the passport. Again this is to show the last time your in you US and to make sure you are always in status)

6. I-693 (Medical Exam) (You can dial 1-800-375-5283 to choose the physician list) you will required to show a proof that you have take MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and hepatitis B if you can't show any proof they will required you to take it on their office and it will cause you quite a lot money ( you can take the vaccine earlier on your family/ regular dr. office and could get covered by you insurance) it could save you $300 per person. the mandatory test you have to take at their office is tb test, blood test for HIV and syphilis and regular phisical test. once you have all vaccine and the mandatory test they should gave you the seal envelope to send to USCIS along with your other document and they will give you a copy as well.

7. If you apply for your family member you will need I-134 (Affidavit of Support) stamp by Notary for each family member

8. Employment Verification Letter Employement letter on the letter head of the petitioning employer which confirms that the job on which visa petition is based is still available to you. The letter must also state the salary that will be paid.

10 Fee Payment made to USCIS (1 per applicant) $325 for each I-485 filing fee $70 for each Fingerprint fee $170 for each I-131 filing fee (if apply for Advance Parole) $180 for each I-765 filing fee (if apply for Employment Authorization) .

Hope this list is help for those who is ready preparing their document.

Very good. Please post this message to the front page of IV.

USCIS has decided that the flowers sent by skilled, legal immigrants to director Dr. Emilio Gonzalez will be forwarded to injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.

We welcome the fact that Dr. Gonzalez acknowledged the symbolic gesture of our protest. We are even more happy that these flowers will brighten the day of our injured service brethren. It is their contribution to the American freedom that has made this country such a desirable destination for highly skilled professionals from all over the world.

We also want to convey to the service personnel receiving those flowers that our message accompanying those flowers is, "Thank You and God Bless You".

There is nothing wrong in fighting. At least it will be used to prevent the same mistake in future. But it is not a bad idea to analyse the outcome so that everyone can prepare for that. My view is this campaign will be used for preventing future mistakes. I will be pleasantly surprised if we get more benefit than that. Even lawsuit also will serve the purpose and will give strong warning to USCIS. I can tell many examples. Due to one persons misjudgment so many American and Iraq people were killed. Do you think they can get relief? Whatever relief people got it cannot bring back peoples lives. But still lot of people are thinking that Iraq could have been handled differently and many people are fighting against War. Most people realize mistakes after someone is impacted.

You seem to be pretty good at analyzing faults in others' ideas and thoughts . What are your suggestions to acheive releif from retrogression.

Letters sent. Is there any update from IV on getting this out to Media, Greg Siskind , Zoe Lofgren etc.? Or maybe we should wait till Feb 9th and see. Also, I am seeing many frustrated ppl on also since Feb bulletin. Encouraging them to come together with IV campaign.

After seeing the May bullettin, it seems what the US is actually giving us is either a A kick in the back or a slap on the face?

May be we can create a poll for that send the results to the president.

Well it is their country. We are serving through our volition. We have an expectation, but in a free market it is demand and supply. i am Not trying to be negative - just a reality check on where we stand and how we can approach.

It is a fact that immigration from Asia shot up at the turn of the millennium. This may look disproportionate to proponents of diversity.

Now 1/6th of the world population comes from one country. But the quota for Iceland and India remains the same. Consequently many like us cannot: change employers, give up opportunities (lure of which we came here for) and wait for the same outcome that others achieve much faster, simply because they were born somewhere else or their employers & lawyer decided their immigration category. So much for free country and meritocracy. i believe our main point should be a level playing field and transparent system so that expectations are clear. For those of us who have suffered due to lack of clarity, for all fairness, must lobby for a chance to parity after multiple (say 10) years of serving LEGALLY.
